Muad Abd El Hay

Muad Abd El Hay is a Researcher in the Havenith & Schölvinck Lab at Goethe University Frankfurt. His work focuses on sensory systems, temperature detection mechanisms, and neural circuits underlying internal state perception in animals. He specializes in developing neurotechnological tools like the DREAM Implant for chronic electrophysiological studies in mice.

Research interests include cross-species facial feature analysis for behavioral insights, TRPV1/TRPM2 channel roles in thermoregulation, and immunological mechanisms in adipocytes and streptococcal infections. His lab develops innovative experimental platforms to study pain pathways and neural coding of sensory experiences.

Recent studies highlight advancements in stem cell-derived sensory neuron models for mechanotransduction research, synaptic temperature sensor mechanisms, and molecular pathways in inflammatory responses. Collaborative work bridges neuroscience and biomedical engineering to address translational challenges in sensory biology.
